Just click on CultureBoom (http://www.spawn.com/cultureboom/). When you're on the front page you will see "Archive Navigation" to the left of the page. Click on the drop down menu of "Show entries from" and choose "Desktop Wallpapers". That will do the trick.



Does that tomilson fellow have a face?

You have to chew off the visor to find out! ;)

Yes, he does.

I smile a little each time I see cardboard backing.

[jinhan]

Does that tomilson fellow have a face?

Yes, yes he does... But if we were to show his face on this toy, it would then become the most awesome toy EVER made, thereby rendering all upcoming toys, from ANY company, meaningless.

The world's toy industry would come to a screeching halt as a result of LaDainian's greatness, and he alone would bring down the world's toy economy.

So, Uwe, there is a reason for not showing LT's face on this figure. It is also the same reason he wears the dark visor in real life... Simply put, he is so great, that Chuck Norris would wear his jersey out of respect.

GO CHARGERS!

LOL, great post Jin.

You sculpted him, didn't you? :D

[SoulRedeemer]

Love the wallpaper. I suppose it's time to change my desktop. It's been too bland.

[jinhan]

LOL, great post Jin.

Anytime Tomlinson can be used in a discussion, it makes for a great post! :D

You sculpted him, didn't you? :D

No, I didn't. Due to the magnitude of LT's greatness and wizardry, I would have lost the use of my left hand if I had attempted to sculpt him. Then I'd be fired from this job, and be forced to work the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, drawing with my feet.

LT is just THAT awesome. In fact, behind that visor, there isn't even a face. We just sculpted the mouth to give the impression of a portrait.

[Uwe]

So it took several of you to create his head? How were you not all fired? Did you have to perform some sort of seance with LT's spiritual form to get him to agree not to smite you all for attempting to sculpt his sacred mug?

I imagine with the Arizona heat, entering a hallucinatory trance wouldn't have been all that hard.

AP > LT
